FLINT, MI – WeatherNation TV, Inc., announced its partnership with ABC12 WJRT-TV to broadcast a 24-hour local weather channel for the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City markets starting in early November 2013.

For Comcast customers, the station is available on cable channel 293 and on Charter cable, it will be broadcast on channel 431 as “ABC12 WeatherNation.”

WeatherNation TV is available in numerous cities including Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis, Seattle, Denver and Atlanta and is growing monthly, allowing viewers local, regional and national weather news all day, every day.

“We are excited to add the mid-Michigan region to WeatherNation’s rapidly growing list of cities having access to our 24/7 weather news service,” said Michael Norton, president of WeatherNation TV.

“Viewers are increasingly demanding instant access to weather news, radar images, and weather patterns as well as the upcoming forecast before making decisions about their day. WeatherNation and ABC12 WJRT have formed an informative, always available TV channel that will satisfy viewers seeking instant weather news.”

Pete Veto, president and general manager of ABC 12, said that he’s excited about the extended coverage his company will be able to provide.

“Partnering with WeatherNation will enhance not only our coverage of Mid-Michigan but our weather coverage at a national level as well,” he said in a statement.

Instead of long-form shows interspersed with short bouts of weather news, WeatherNation TV offers continuous coverage of hyper-local, local, regional and national weather events with new graphics and details.
